COMPLEX AGENDA dueled early on through the first turn and then backed off as FORTH THOMAS showed the way past the stands the first time and through the second turn and into the backstretch, advanced on that rival midway down the backstretch and engaged him in a duel once more half a mile from home, knocked heads through the far turn and was roused spinning five wide into upper stretch, dug in under a drive shaking off his main pace rival and under threat, got caught with three-sixteenths to go, fought on to inside the eighth pole and then kept on to the wire.
